Description

Cast-iron cookware has a long and colorful back story. The pans are said to have originated in he 4th century B.C. During the Middle Ages, tools and cookware cast in iron were so valuable. Today, after generations of lightweight “modern” aluminum followed by an onslaught of nonstick pots and pans, the pendulum is swinging back, and those precious old cooking vessels are proving their mettle as the right cookware for our times and lifestyle. They are more efficient, because you can cook, bake and serve all in one pot or skillet. They cook food more consistently because the iron conducts and retains heat more evenly. They’re inexpensive and last a lifetime. And for most people they’re a healthier choice because the small amount of iron that leaches into the food (not harmful, per studies) actually helps prevent anemia.
